Grilled Apple Crisp

Who says you can't make dessert on the grill, too? This sweet recipe will shut the naysayers right up.

Ingredients:

10 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (about 8 medium)

1 cup old-fashioned oats

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 cup cold butter

Vanilla ice cream, optional

How to make it:

Place the apple slices on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 24 inches x 12 inches). In a small bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves; cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over apples.

Fold foil around apple mixture and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 20-25 minutes or until apples are tender. Serve warm with ice cream if desired. Serves 6.
